Gens/GS r7 S2HD Edition

I lol'd.

Sonic 2 HD - putting the Marching Squares Algorithm out of business. Manually.

Edit: It uses more than 500 MB of RAM!!

 

I never could figure out how to make GENs work...

 

Hoyl shit this runs sooo fast onn my pee cee

the bright thing is reeeally awesome and the hd effects make the game much more awesom!!!!!!!!

 

c/p from SSRG:

Adding some kind of a sun and anti-alaising? Does this really count as High definition? =P

Nice job though.

Oh and also, I lol'd at the requirements. It worked just fine on my old crap.

 

This is way better than Sonic 2 HD and I am completely serious.

 

What, no faithfully remastered music?
Had to use frame skip to get it at a playable speed, but it actually looked pretty sweet, for the most part. But I did have to go download clean ROMs, which was a pest D:

 

Now we need a custom version of S2MP3TOOL for this =D.

 

You know Gerbil, this could actually have some potential here to be even more awesome. Having an emulator to improve certain games isn't a half-bad idea.

I love that sepia Metropolis.

 

Slightly offtopic, but I've been wanting to make a new S2MusicTool for a while, possibly using WinAmp. But I would need to know how the original works. Then we could have one that would work for any emulator.

 

Making an emulator which supported both .mp3 format music and a high-res 'reskin' of the graphics in Sonic 2 was an early suggestion for Sonic2HD, which I was pretty supportive of; such an emulator could be easily modified to provide high-res reskins of other games; and I pretty much still am.

What of it, GerbilSoft?

 

Oh, I thought it just hacked the game, not the emulator. If it was just hacking the game, it would be easy enough to provide a base address to work from (like the Rings address).

 

Wow, this is absolutely outstanding, excellent work!

On a more serious note, I must admit, it took me a few minutes to realize what was the actual point of this =P

 

The audio team is working as we speak to find the perfect dying cat to use as the lead instrument for the new music.

 

Plus they are also planning a couple of ways to get the perfect screeching as a backing track.

 

I have figured out how to make Gens work.

But the game runs SO SLOW...unless I turn off the music. Then it runs fine.

Why is that?

 

mac port plz

But, uh, yeah. This is great.

 

I downloaded the emulator, and a rom of Sonic 2, yet when I attempt to play it, it won't work (it says it will only work with Sonic 2 or Knuckles in Sonic 2), even though it is a plain simple rom of Sonic 2! What gives? It's a BIN file, and the file size is 1 MB. Does the emulator hate me?
